Meet Measured Architecture

Measured Architecture is a Vancouver studio focused on modern design, interiors, and landscapes. Current projects include residential and vacation homes, multi-family housing, and public spaces.

Since founding in 2007, the studio has delivered private and public environments through close collaboration with consultants, contractors, trades, and artisans — what the firm calls "situational modernism": a humanist approach considering client aspirations, the opportunities of a site, and the constraints of municipality, budget, and schedule.

The AIBC Emerging Firm Award (2015) and AIBC Lieutenant-Governor Award Merit for the Mayne Island Retreat (2008) mark the studio as one of Vancouver’s most peer-recognized practices.

Why work with Measured

Architecture-first, not zoning-first

Most multiplex applications are zoning-driven boxes. Measured starts with the site, the street, and the client aspiration — and lets the design solve the zoning, not the other way around.

AIBC-recognized at peer level

Two AIBC awards in the studio's first decade is rare. That track record matters when an unusual lot needs an architect who can advocate through DP and DBL hearings.

Crafts-driven detailing

Measured is known for closely collaborating with trades and artisans. Useful when the spec sheet has more "millwork" than "siding."

Frequently asked questions

Is Measured Architecture available for small (3-4 unit) multiplexes?

They take residential commissions of varying scale. Small multiplex projects fit the firm’s focus — but the engagement is design-led and unlikely to be the cheapest fee on a comparison shortlist.
